Bob Had Evidently Had Few Nips of 1t.
A few days ago Col. Bob Ingersoll sent an
old friend very old jug of rare whiskey
With it were the following lines in the
colonels well known ehilography.
II send you some of the most wonderful
whiskey that ever drove the skeleton from a
feast or painted landscapes in the brain of
man. 1t is the mingled souls of wheat and
corn. In it you will find the sunshine and the
shadow that chased each other over the bill
lowy fields, the breath of June, the carol of
the lark, the dews of night, the wealth Of
summer and autumn's rich content, all golden
with imprisoned light. Drink it and you will
hear the voice OF men and maidens singing
the "Harvest Hpme,' mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and you will
feel within yom blood the startled dawns, the
dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect days
For forty years this liquid joy has been with
in the happy staves of oak, longing to touch
the lips Of man.

THE cHAfswoRTH CALAMITY.

Cussodness Of tho Railroad Employees the
Primary Cause OF tho Accident.
CHATswoRru. ILL.,, Aug. 17.-Disobcdlence
and obtuseness wero primary causes OF the
slaughter ut Davis crossing on Thursday
morning. Had Section Foreman Coughlin
obeyed the spirit Of the letter Of instruc-
tions he received from his superior officer,
and had some of the men, one Of them
in particular who saw lights on the
railroad track for an hour Wednesday
night, exerted themselves to the extent of
two mile ride on . hand Car, the
catastrophe would never have occurred.
These were the primary facts developed b.
the coroner's jury, which for seven long
hours yesterday examined witness after
witness in its endeav0r to secure some
light regarding the cause which led to the
disaster. The inquiry took place in the
public school building, and here the farmer
jury developed facts and elected details in
q style which would have been creditable
to jury composed Of experienced men,
bers Of the bar. A large number OF wit
nesscs testified. Several residents of
Piper City saw . light burning on the
track towards Chatsworth on the night Of
the accident, but made no efforts to investl-
gate the cause. Some of them thought it
was the headlight Of . locomotive. Joseph
Norris, farmer, living half mile south
Of the culvert, swore that he saw two or
three OF the section men firing the grass
in close proximity to the bridge just
before dark on Wednesday. After
dark he saw blaze in that
direction big enough to make him
think that q building was on fire. This
testimony was corrOborated by another
farmer, and is in contradiction to the tcsti-
mony OF Coughlin, which was to the effect
that no fire had been lighted near the
bridge. After the witnesses were dismissed
the jury held q secret consultation.
